Your third limb

Prosthetics have come a long way since 950 to 710 B.C. when they were just made from wood and leather (Clements, 2013). The recent development of mind-controlled prosthetics has provided a plethora of possibilities, they are beginning to allow handicaps to regain their fundamental abilities. However, these prosthetics are usually extremely expensive and unaffordable for the general public. This could create potential socioeconomic problems and widen the rich-poor divide. Ways of improving these mind-controlled prosthetics would be to include self-regenerative abilities and having a sense of touch. Moreover, with the advent of 3D technology, the cost of such prosthetics could be dramatically reduced.
